Filipino Pork Barbecue Especial

Filipino Pork Barbecue made of pork slices marinated in a sweet BBQ sauce and skewered in bamboo sticks. Sweet, salty, and slightly spicy, these Filipino-style kebabs are seriously addictive!

Filipino pork barbecue is a popular street food in the Philippines as well as a regular mainstay at parties and special gatherings. Commonly peddled at street corners on makeshift grill carts, these delectable pork skewers are widely enjoyed as a viand with hefty servings of rice or as portable appetizers to complement cold beer.

Since we’re in the midst of Summer here in California and G has been firing up the charcoal pit almost every day, I thought I’ll repost our most favorite thing to grill.

Like most mainstream dishes, every Filipino cook or household has their versions of barbecue pork. While calamansi or lemon juice appears to be standard for most Filipino pork barbecue recipes, I use vinegar instead to help tenderize the meat.
